In this episode, we're joined by Clarke Reynolds, a proud blind artist known for his unique 3D pointillism work, and Heather Neff, Co-Founder and CEO of Equivalent Smart Graphics, who lives with low vision due to a rare eye disease that causes photophobia and light sensitivity.

Clarke discusses the challenges of being a blind artist navigating a world not built with his needs in mind, while Heather shares how dark mode has become an essential part of her digital experience.

Together, we explore the token gestures and missteps often seen in accessibility efforts. Clarke and Heather bring their personal experiences and expertise to the table, discussing the real challenges they face in the digital world. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the importance of genuine accessibility and why it's not just about checking boxes.

We hope their stories inspire you to take action and advocate for a more inclusive digital landscape.

Let’s Get Loud. Let’s Get Real. Let’s Spill the AccessibiliTea.

Welcome to Scribely's first episode of Spill the AccessibiliTea- an opportunity for Disabled voices to be heard and help raise awareness about digital accessibility issues that matter.

The struggle is real when searching for social media accessibility. Just hear from Natalie Trevonne, a blind woman, and her issue with Instagram's late approach to accessibility. She is tagged in stories and can't even see them! Also listen to Holly Tuke, a blind woman, in ranting about her frustration with Meta's vague alt text, stressing the importance of others writing own alt text.

We hope this episode highlights the real challenges faced by the disabled community and inspires you to advocate for better accessibility in digital spaces. Together, we can make a difference.
